They apparently have 300M daily meeting participants which is actually more impressive than this headline.

In general, yes. Everyone seems to have their preferred style of coding, and it is an easy defence mechanism, when presented with anyone who tries and finds it wanting, to say that…

If you want a serious answer is because peer to peer webRTC doesn't scale beyond two people. If you have 4 people every client would need to maintain 3 streams, a total of 6 stream…

It's no longer declarative as soon as you've done that though; it's still a break in the declarative paradigm.

Don't worry, I'm not espousing lifecycles as a panacea or solution for the modern programmer, I just wanted to share that experience with lifecycle methods meant that I was less tr…

But that's great until it isn't. You can design all the declarative things you want, but someone will eventually come up with a requirement that doesn't appear to fit a declarative…

I liked that model because as an ASP webforms developer the class lifecycle is easy to reason about, like a page lifecycle. In ASP you wouldn't put initialisation code in the page …

Then I agree completely, and must have misunderstood what was proposed by a handler. Typically a handler will launch an external application such as mailto, ftp, magnet, etc. If we…

Correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't used DOSBOX for a decade but doesn't it have the ability to access hard drives and mount them? Given that, it's not much of a sandbox. Or does th…

A handler for executing arbitrary code. What could possibly go wrong?

Well yeah, either is fine.

Exactly, I think grammatically this would be correct: Arsenal are winning Arsenal is the best team in the league It's contradictory (as well as plainly false ;) ), but that's Engli…

I'm not saying there's no effect I'm saying that weddings aren't special in that regard. That's just as easily (or not!) answered the same as: > So what about all the workers that …

Thanks, that's it! A good video and better than I explained it too. The video says it's inspired by Taleb's Black Swan so I suspect I read it in that too.

Not much? I think in most jurisdictions it's possible to get legally married, just not be celebrated in the traditional way. So wedding celebrations have been delayed by 6 months o…

This reminds me of a prediction game experiment I heard that was described like the following. \* The researchers presented the following to people. f(1) = true f(2) = true f(4) = …

I think idempotent wasn't a good word but I think the idea being described is that crafting is acyclic. For example Copper Wire + Iron = Green Circuit. There's no recipe chain that…

6 exoskeletons (yes, they stack) and a couple of personal nuclear power plants and you can outrun cars and some trains for that matter.

I agree, and I dropped Factorio for a year before going back to it and sinking a few hundred hours into it. What changed? Well partly some UI improvement, but mostly it was a minds…

Yeah pretty much, having names against people is fantastic. I also don't particularly notice any increased lag, perhaps I'm normally operating at a verbal or social lag and zoom no…

> It’s hard to integrate non-engineers – they aren’t valued. > But, we ship. That in particular meant I viewed the article as a cry for help. But it seems like all the commentary h…

What does "treat your computers accordingly" mean to you?

Looking through that comparison, I find it funny that "time tracking" is touted as a feature. My grand-boss might love the idea but the fact that GitHub is missing time tracking is…
